Why are you using something other than a phono cable?
You do realize, that a the 2M red has an output of 5.5mV, right?
You do realize your other components have an output between 1 and 2 Volts?
So, your DAC has a signal 400 times stronger than the cartridge.
Gee, I wonder why a cable may not be suited for a different use.
Phono cables have to deal with that crazy low level signal, and needs to be shielded as ANY external electrical signals will cause noise in a cable not intended for phono use with appropriate shielding.
1 min of research would have provided you with that information.
but instead, you decided to publicly shame a company because you don’t know how to use their product
Not cool…
